A gas turbine engine typically includes a fan section, and a core engine section including a compressor section, a combustor section and a turbine section. Air entering the compressor section is compressed and delivered into the combustion section where it is mixed with fuel and ignited to generate a high-speed exhaust gas flow. The high-speed exhaust gas flow expands through the turbine section to drive the compressor and the fan section.
A nacelle structure surrounds the fan section and the core engine section and defines a bypass flow passage disposed annularly about the core engine section. A thrust reverser is provided within the nacelle structure to direct thrust to aid in slowing an aircraft. A portion of the nacelle structure is moved to provide access to the fan and core engine sections during maintenance operations. Nacelle structures including thrust reverser components can be cumbersome and difficult to manipulate, especially in larger engines. Accordingly, it is desirable to provide systems and components that provide the desired operational functions while also easing accessibility for maintenance.
